Todays KOMIK INTERBYU, we will now feature indie komiks Silent Sanctum Manga! They are actually a group of artists, but they speak as one, well more heads are better than one!
When did you started making komiks?
2007, ang pinakagoal lang back then was to join KOMIKON.At pumuntang BAHAY NG ALUMNI.The world domination thing came much later...
Who/What were your inspirations in making one?
Oh most definitely CULTURE CRASH.Both in format and art style.
And what manga group would be without being influenced by the likes of AKIRA TORIYAMA and YOSHIHIRO TOGASHI.And syempre kung girl mangaka ka...si MR.S NAOKO TAKEUCHI! Basically yung mga cartoons & animes na napapanood namin growing up(He-man,centurions,hanna-barbera stuff,Battle Ball, Super Boink,Voltes V,etc.)...malaki ang impact both visually at sa mga story telling namin.
Do you make scribbles while in class?
Yeah...all the time!Most especially at MATH CLASS.Kaya nga kami bumabagsak e hehehe...
What creation is the one you are most proud of?
Silent Sanctum Manga 3,for the our WORLD WIDE contribution to bridge the gap between COMICS and MANGA.
& Silent Sanctum Manga 5.5.,for it was designed to be the CULTURE CRASH tribute issue.

Character wise we are most proud of both KAPTAIN BOMBA and ANGRY MAN.They're the two SSM! Characters that people usually relates to....
Do you feel possessed by your own creations?
Not by our CHARACTERS but more of the ARTISTS that helps us earn a living.There are more times than once that we actually sign important documents(BIR,Bank Statements,Hospital Sheets) under our pen names.We have taken so much pride upon maintaining our counterculture personas that we at times loss track of our real names!Same thing with our BIRTHDAYS,AGE,etc.In a way, if we're going out as SILENT SANCTUM MANGA we try to seperate the LIVING PERSONS from the ARTISTS.
If one of your characters will be made into a live action series, who is it and who will play the role?
Takeshi Kaneshiro for ONI NADEGIRI
Danny DeVito for BUNNY-PON
Dolph Lundgren for KAPTAIN BOMBA
coz IVAN DRAGO was the shiznits!!!!

Where you want to see your comics 5 years from now?
Enslaving mankind...mercilessly whipping people to build our STATUES and MONUMENTS...We kid of course....
But we'd be more that happy continuing what we do now.
But with a wealthy sponsor,a self sustaining income and enough dough to sponsor up and coming indie artists.

Any plans to publish your work in another language other than Filipino or English?
We actually used a little BISAYA on our first issue.And quite frankly we have grown to love the dialect for it's "malambing" like
nature.We'd most definitely love the idea of our works being translated in several filipino dialects but at times it's more of the "WILL THEY ACTUALLY LIKE IT" part that we're worried about.And since we're currentlty using TAGALOG,KOREAN,THAI or HINDI wouldn't sound so foreign either.We would like to keep it fresh in the same way if we'd see our book at a foreign country...WE'D WANNA BUY IT!Not because we're in it...but more likely we'd wanna learn how they translated the stories and how some of our jokes and puns would look in the eyes of our foreigner friends.

Are you willing to cosplay one of your characters?
Yes,I wouldn't mind cosplaying as BUNNY-PON since I already have to body for it...
Did you fell in love with one of your works?
You don't actually fall in love with a "certain" work.But you tend to fall in love with everything you've done. I think that is the driving force for any creation.So to choose favorites would be very difficult for us.
